During his awakening ceremony, transmigrator Caden Moss triggers a cosmic anomaly and awakens as a Forbidden Heretic, a class not tolerated by The Federation. Targeted for elimination by the Federation Patrol and Wyrmrest City's elite, his childhood sweetheart, Elara Vance, dies shielding him from a fatal blow. Amidst the bloodshed, Caden binds with the Bodhi Virtue System and makes a solemn vow: to defy life and death and resurrect his beloved! From then on, Caden betrays The Federation, treading a path of blood and using Merit to exchange for divine abilities. His Iron Shirt Technique evolves into the Indestructible Vajra Body, his Lotus Finger Technique into the Crimson Karmic Flame, his Lion's Roar into the Great Brahma Dragon's Chant, and his Prajna Palm into the Tathagata Palm. For one person, he would slaughter cities, slay gods, cut a path through The Stygian Realm, and breach the gates of the underworld. Caden Moss: "Elara, this time, I will scour the heavens and hells to bring you home!"
